After a person has contacted and met with the vocation director, and explored more in depth a possible call to the Augustinian way of life, he may be invited by the vocation director to make application for entrance into the community. Once accepted, the candidate begins a seven-year formation process, of continual, ongoing discernment into our way of life, as he is drawn deeper by God into discovering his call.
Be sure to check out what is entailed in the Pre-Novitiate, Novitiate, and Post-Novitiate, and meet the men who are currently in Augustinian formation.
